My Books
I have worked on lots of exciting children’s books. Here is a selection of some that I have written and illustrated, along with some titles that I have illustrated for other lovely authors.
Who Ate The Cake
Things keep disappearing, and everyone’s blaming poor Bob.
But did Bob REALLY eat:
Mum’s knitting
AND Dad’s daffodils
AND Gran’s tea set
AND Freddie’s big birthday cake?
Or is there a secret, pesky pelican on the loose?

Then lick your lips, chomp some chips, and tuck into this rollicking rhyme that’s chock-full of every kind of chip imaginable: fat chips, thin chips, fluffy chips and greasy chips. Just mind you don’t drop your best chip on the floor!
